5 Most Important Matches In WWE Monday Night Raw History
Looking back at some fonder milestones after the latest ratings decline...
3. John Cena Vs. Shawn Michaels (2007)
While Triple H and Chris Benoit had already graced Raw with a 60-minute Iron Man match, most would concur that Michaels and Cena outdid them three years later in their standard one-fall match at London's Earl's Court. Arguably, it was Cena's best match ever to that point.
When you put on a one-hour wrestling match on free TV (especially when you haven't advertised how long it's going to go), you're assuming a great risk for many reasons. The match ended up being one of the greatest in Raw history, a pleasing slice of something unexpected.
